Chapter 15 I cried for a while after Dimitrius hung up on me. Carol called me for dinner shortly after that and I must say that I’ve never felt more out of place as I do now. Everyone is conversing and I’m looking around at them wondering if this is what they will be like if I die. Would they be this happy? Would they be sad? Who will take over the kingdom? Will I ever get the chance of being Queen and having my portrait hang beside my fathers?“Jasmine I forgot to ask how your appointment with doctor Jacob's went?” My father asks. My mom dropped her fork and it clattered on the plate and the room fell silent.I glance over at him trying to think of something that he will believe.“Good. I’d rather not discuss details if you don’t mind dad,” He nods and continues talking to Winter about how she needs to learn to control her Lycan. My mother on the hand doesn’t give up that easily.“You will tell us the details now,” I can see concerns etched on her features. But I’m not ready to tel
Chapter 16When your child, your parents never really tell you about the bad things in life. The dangers of attacks are never spoken in front of you. The only thing me and my sisters have ever heard was good. People would stop us on our walks through the kingdom and they would tell us how lucky we were to have such wonderful parents and great role models. All that was true. My parents are the best and do such good things for their people. As I got into my teenage years my father started explaining a little at times on how the kingdom was run and things to do and what not to do. It wasn’t until recently when my dad gave this assignment to the rogue king that I learned more about the dangers of running a kingdom. Even then I didn’t fully understand just how dangerous things could get…..until now.“One job,” my dad runs his fingers who’s salt and pepper hair frustratingly. “One fucking job. You two were to talk to Amir and settle the accusations that he was accused of. Instead you two
Chapter 17You know that awful sickening feel you get when you eat a corn dog and then get on the Ferris wheel? That’s the feeling I have right now only minus the Ferris wheel and the corn dog. I’m currently in the meeting room of the Mortaga’s where Tyson insisted on having the meeting about my position to the throne. Along with Tyson and my dad sits uncle Bane Ginger and Cato. My mother and Annabella and Mia are all present. With everyone including both my sisters Sofia and Winter so my guts telling me this isn’t going to be good news.“I’ve come to a decision,” My father Dominic says. It’s funny how when he speaks he has everyone’s full attention. Except mine that is. All I can think about is wanting to be Queen so badly and make my mark on the kingdom take us places we’ve never gone before. And the feeling I have is that’s never going to happen. My father is going to take that chance. Even if he doesn’t take my chance, my heart is getting weaker with each passing minute. I’ve alr
A Kingdom Of Roses And Iron.Prologue.At the end of the altar stands the groom, the man I’m meant to marry beside the groom stood my mate.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Today Is my twentieth birthday. My mom took care of the DJ and the invitations with the help from Ginger. I only asked my parents for one favor and that one favor meant so much to me because if they were invited maybe he’d come and finally step out from the shadows. I asked them to invite the Mortaga's. They were shocked that I wanted them at the party after signing the merger agreement only a day before. My great great grandfather Victor Caputo signed a blood oath to merge the neighboring Kingdom with his own, for the merger to happen one daughter must marry the other son once married the kingdoms would become one. Victor was a vile man and would sentence twenty strikes for those who disobeyed him.“Let me help you with your hair,” Ginger says, grabbing the curling iron.Ginger is my rock! She stands by me when I’
My heart pounded erratically in my chest as I tried to wiggle myself free. At this moment I felt so hopeless. The goddess only knows what’s going to happen to me and it’s all my fault for coming thinking he would show up. No one knows where I am, not even Ginger. Why did I even think he would show? He refuses to leave the shadows even for me.I’m the future Queen maybe this gown needs a reminder of just who I am“Get off me do you have any idea who I am!,” I tried reasoning but he only smirked.“I don’t give a fuck who you are. You're unmated..”The stranger paused, darting his fat tongue out to lick his small thin lips. “For now,” He smiled mischievously. I managed to free my hand and I slapped him hard across his cheek. My mother was right, I should have never come here. I’m useless with no way to protect myself from perverts like this. At least my mother Caliana has her amulet that has an ancient power passed down to her from her mother, it was the least she could give my mother a
Jasmine Age fourteen.“So what was so important that you had to talk to me?” Cato asked.I looked over at Ginger sitting beside me at the umbrella table. Winter and Sofia were racing in the pool. Cato sat across from us with the water dripping from his blonde hair, his brown eyes fixed on Ginger's breast.What a damn perv“I will only agree to this marriage on one condition,” I told him.His almost nonexistent eyebrow raises.“Okay, I’ll bite. What’s the condition?” Ginger gives me a reassuring nod and I take a deep breath.“This marriage will only be on paper. You will not be allowed to kiss me, touch me, and most definitely no sex,” I tell him and take a sip of my lemonade.The corner of his mouth raises.“And why would I agree to that? The point of the marriage is that our Lycan genes will make a powerful baby,” He raises his eyebrow up and down as his brown eyes roam my body. Gross!I chuckled because he doesn't know yet that I don’t have the gene Winter does.“I don’t have the
JasmineAge fourteen.Why am I so nervous and why is my throat burning? And Goddess why does that strange smell, smell so damn good?When the doors opened the first thing I saw was a living room. And off to the right was the kitchen the walls were a dark shade of gray the cabinets were a dark blue. The dark blue sectional had red pillows on it. Weird color themes that’s for sure. I walked further into the foyer and headed down a dark non-lit hallway. Why is it so dark? The glass door at the end of the hall had an indoor pool behind it with some chairs. It was dark and I couldn’t see much. I opened the door and walked into the room, the chlorine smell masks that wonderful smell of this apartment type place. The pool had some type of led lighting that made the water glow a light blue. I was standing at the ledge and I turned with the sudden sound of the door closing, it was heavy so it couldn’t have closed on its own. A gasp left my lips when white eyes stared directly at me and I too
Dimitrius When first time parents find out they're expecting a baby they take all cautions to baby proofing the house to showing that baby unconditional love. Parents are supposed to love their children no matter what. Werewolves are born with great abilities for hearing, seeing, and shapeshifting and strength like no human could ever possess. If you're a werewolf and you're born with all these things then you’ve got everything needed to be great and your parents will show you off to the world to make your name known but if you're born without one of those things your disgrace.That’s what I am, a disgrace to the Mortaga family name. My parents are so ashamed of me they told everyone that I died after my second birthday. They never bothered to help me when I was struggling to walk, change my clothes or learn how to read and write in braille. I had a full time nanny that raised me until I was old enough to do things for myself. When I was twelve my father Tyson made this whole third f
